The Committee will meet with the Provost and Chancellor for one hour. Suggested meeting times for this were sent out through the listserv, but these dates are no longer valid

New suggested dates include 11/7 from 9-10am and 11/21 from 4 to 5pm

Committee will meet beforehand on that date to discuss what issues to cover during the hour

Meeting with Chancellor will replace monthly meeting

Suggested dates will be sent out again. Inform Peter what date works best for you

Members should be given time by unit to meet with Committee at least once a month. Inform Peter or Janet if you’re experiencing difficulties in getting the time off

Fridays have worked out best for Committee meetings. Need to change time from 11 to 1pm. Meetings will adjourn at 2:30 on Fridays. ACDC will be able to meet before Friday Committee meetings. Larry and Drew will decide the time frame for the ACDC meeting. Motion approved.

Executive Committee and Sub-Committee Chairs – Janet

Sub-Committees discussed in detail

Survey committee is full

Sub-Committees assigned based on interest of members after responding to Sub-Committee details email

Although Sub-Committees are assigned members should feel free to participate in all

Discussion of ACDC deferred

Carol Gill explained survey committee

Survey that will act to count individuals with disabilities on campus and report on their status

Want survey to be accessible

Have budget, bids from survey consultants, and waiting for approval

If able to move forward students, faculty, and staff will assist in developing, collecting and analyzing

Much help will be needed

Will provide needed data to the university on status

Will hopefully be a continuing effort

Support for stronger advocacy and funding

Survey will allow for voluntary information since administrative data is not available

Wants to meet before monthly Committee meetings – will allow ACDC to bring issues up to Committee in a timely fashion

History given by Larry

Larry discussed the 15 page report

Various areas on campus looked at to improve access

Gave areas recommendations

Will now see where we are at and what new areas arise

University faculty serves to hear issues from ACDC

Alberto discussed a class project of DSU involving accessibility

Survey Committee – Carol

Bill expressed concern about having recruitment representative involved in the Sub-Committees. He also brought attention to the Global Campus issue and how it will affect students with various disabilities.

Carole Snow explained that the Global University is a complete online degree program that is structured under the President’s business model. There is much controversy surrounding the Global University.

CCSPD should be aware of the Global University and have involvement in development due to issues involving access in information technologies

Carol gave the example of Blackboard not being readily accessible and also discussed the issue of recruitment as well as RETENTION.

Deaf students underrepresented on campus

Revised survey proposal will be sent out
